Pleurotus species are some of the most commonly cultivated mushrooms, particularly in China, due to their ease of cultivation and their ability to convert 100 g of organic refuse into 50-70 g of fresh mushrooms. They are cultivated commercially, usually on a medium of grain, straw, or sawdust.
A 20ml Glass Scintillation Vial with 10ml of Malt Extract Agar and a Food Safe Hardwood Popsicle Stick has been inoculated with the highest quality pure culture in front of a Laminar Flow Hood and sealed with Parafilm. Once grown out to the limits of the medium, the culture has been refrigerated in a sterile container to slow down its growth and preserve the mycelium in it's most vital and active form.
